Other than some tweets, I can’t find much fan reaction from Brighton re Mitrovic. Is it even a story down there?

 

Maybe they don't take it seriously. I mean, increasing the bid from £8m to £15m does sound a bit unlikely.

The Guardian claim of a new £15m bid is a bit sketchy anyway. No other outlet at all is reporting this and I’m pretty sure they would be if Brighton went from an £8m bid to £15m within 24 hours.

 

Don’t believe it personally

Just hoping some common sense will prevail. Mitro's career is dead here, he failed to be effective in the Championship and he's barely kicked a ball this season. Rafa doesn't rate him. £15m is perfect, let's take that, up our bid on Jorgensen and then use the rest of the money to add to whatever kitty and get some more players in.

Hmmmm I'd say he was pretty effective when he played but rarely played due to the insistence on playing one up front.

An increased bid of 8m to 15m might have some plausibility, if we're willing to accept payment in the form  of installments once again. Pretties up the accounts further down the track (if Ashley is hanging around) and by design (because usually we only spend what's in the bank) it hamstrings our competitiveness in the transfer market.

Ryder says 15m bid is bollocks.

 

Which makes total sense. They can f*** off for 7m like.

7 ? So they've put a new bid in lower than the first. The Ashley/Charnley school of Football ownership seems to have it's first graduate  :lol:

Original bid was mis-reported as 8m but the north east lot reckon it was between 7 and 8. Their original bid is the only bid at the moment.

 

I can see him going to West Brom when Jonny Evans moves on.

He scored 1 goal in 6 months and got dropped for Daryl Murphy.  Awaiting Optimistic Nut's reply.....

Exactly. Rafa knew he could't rely on Mitro to finish, the amount of times we were all frustrated at him missing quite straight forward chances was unacceptable. If he was effective he would have got way more game time, unless Madras thinks Rafa was a fool for not using him more.

Pretty sure he complained most of last season for us not playing 442 all the time.

He started 11 games. Changed the game against Norwich when he came on, played in our best performance and just because I don't think 4-2-3-1 got the best out of the squad in that division and I still don't. I wouldn't have went 4-4-2 all the time, you'd be a bit of a mug to use the same tactics and formation against very opposition.

I'll just leave this here then:

 

Premier League goals since Mitrovic arrived in England.

 

Mitrovic - 10

Joselu - 8

Gayle - 6

We should've strolled it, could have aswell. Rafa's a mug ?  Na!He's changed his tactics this season, unfortunately it takes results to go against us for him to do it.

 

You do know if you are so much better than the opposition you can get things wrong and still win doncha ?

Mitrovic is still our best striker imo. I think it's clear now that Rafa has sidelined him because of his personality, not his footballing qualities. As a fellow Balkan thug, I suspect he might be too radge, he might set an unprofessional example or he might intimidate others somehow.. Whatever it is, we'll probably never know and he'll be gone in a week, so that everybody can move on.

Its a bit unfair to say since Mitro arrived he has 10 goals but then not say since Gayle arrived in the same competition he has less when he actually has more.

 

Sigh, ok, in the premiership then:

 

Mitrovic = 1 goal every 4 games

Gayle = 1 goal every 4.7 games

Joselu = 1 goal every 5.3 games

 

So yeah, Gayle has more goals, but he's played more games, so your point is moot.
